Emergency Preparedness

Clay County Health Department is the primary coordinating agency for the Public Health and Medical Services Emergency Support Function #8 of the Clay County All Hazard Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. Developing processes to dispense medications to residents of the community within a short period of time; writing procedures for issuing orders of isolation and quarantine; providing education and promoting awareness for pandemic influenza and other public health emergency topics are some of the issues that are addressed in the planning process.
